It is almost the weekend. I can see it. It is waving from afar saying “come closer, come closer,” and I am just crawling towards it.
Here are some links for you to peruse as you crawl closer to the weekend too. Let’s hope it is a speedy crawl.
Now that fall is in full swing and pumpkin-flavored everything lines the shelves, Starbucks has come out with their first new drink in 4 years. Hint, it isn’t pumpkin. Inspired by the milk left behind after your morning bowl of cereal (or your midnight bowl, if you are Will ;) ), the Toasted Graham Latte is the new seasonal coffee drink for all the non-PSL lovers.
Speaking of pumpkin, look at these amazing chinoiserie pumpkins. Yes, chinoiserie pumpkins. Talk about crafty. As you can probably tell from some of the dishes and linens I use, I love blue and white. I want to make one.
Where do all of these pumpkins come from, you might ask. Not from The Great Pumpkin Desert, Charlie Brown. I had to. But really, this article and map detail where pumpkins grow in the US and it is pretty interesting.
And since we are on the subject of pumpkins, let’s talk about Halloween. I bet you thought your Harry Potter outfit was great, just wait until we can have real invisibility cloaks. Wouldn’t that be the coolest?!
Last but not least, I have been loving travel photography lately. It makes me want to get out and travel all the time. I want to visit the US West and the Pacific Northwest and all of the wonderful National Parks. Alas, since that is not a great option right now, I look at beautiful pictures, like these, instead.
